AMfljpen are becoming neccssary
parts in the great machine we call

liteness. and their honesty have won

whose optimism, is a lesson for emu

UPTON ON ADVERTISING.
I dare say I owe a great deal of
my success to advertising. I always
tried to get hold of some new meth
od. To attract attention I used to
put cartoons In my shop window. In
later years, when my business had
spread, on one occasion 1 engaged an
aeronaut to throw out from his car
10,000 telegraph messages addressed
to one of my^fchops. I offered prizes
to the first 20 people who arrived
with a message, and, the Anders com
ing from all parts of the city, much
popular interest resulted.
Advertising sometimes, as I have
found, results most unexpectedly,
I and from untoward conditions. About
<J o'clock one morning, while in Ire
land, I 'was awakened by the tele^
phone bell ringing in my bedroom.
Springing out of bed. I soon learned
that a Are had broken out at my New
ry branch. On arrival at the scene of
the lire I found naming- could be
saved, bo I immediately telegraphed
to my Dublin and Belfast stores and
ordered a fresh stock of provisionrfro
be sent by passenger trains. Mean
while, I found another shop cloBe by.
and at the usual hour the following
morning I had the new premises in
full working order. There was more
business done at' "The Becond shop
than at the first. The fire. It ap
peared. had drawn public attention
to us. and onr smartness in opening
another shop so quickly was prac
tically appreciated.

A movement is on foot to make it
impossible for anyone to own stock
in two different clubs. This would be
the death' of syndicate baseball.
Hans Wagner started in profes
sional baseball at $35 per month and
glad y? get it. George Moreland, the
Pittsburg baseball statistician, who
was in 1 S9.r,? manager of the' Steuben
ville team, has this to say about the
most talked of man in baseball to
day:
"They was an Imperative rule
that no club shouK cr-eed an $800
salary limit atid It was because of
TTTe~Trict~Tfiat there was but *35 loft '
of this amoujit when Wagner was
signed that he 'whs the poorest paid
nr,i> on the team.
"Hans' brother A! was with me
and we needed a pitcher." said More
land. "He told me of a brother
named Hans who could pitch, and I
wired him at Carnegie, as follows:
"Can you report here to pitch." The
next day T got an answer, saying:
"Yes. when?" There was no mention
of salary, and when Wagner reported
I explained to him that 1 had but $35
left of my allowance to give him and
he accepted. Well, as a pitcher Hans
was not much of a success. He had
no curve and an awkward motion,
but lots of speed. Frank Bowerman
and Harry Smith, now ^of Postpn,
were my catchers, and the Dutchman
used to tear their hands apart with
-his fast balls.
"Neither could Hans hit. He would
strike out four or five times In every
game- and I "really kept him only be1"
cause he was a cheap man. occassion
ly playing him In the out or Infield,
as the occasion demanded.
"In a game one day we were ap
parently beaten until In one of the
closing >lnnlng8 when, because of the
opposing pitcher's wlldness and a
boot, we got three men on the bases.
A1 Wagner had made all our hits,
four In number, and, was up for the
fifth time. It looked like suicide not
to allow -him to bat, but after he had
made one feeble -effort to hit the'bat
1 concluded that Al had more than
his share of the hits that day? and
that he would not be apt to make
another. You. ran Imagine the cry
that went up when I motioned him
to come to the bench and sent Hans
to bat In his place. Hans, the fellow
whom everyone had seen strike out
repeatedly.
"The bleachers railed me all kinds
of boneheads and Jeered Hans as he
came to the plate. 1 Instructed Hans
to run at the first ball pitched and
hit it as hard as he could, frfians al
ways was a great fellow to follow In
structions, and he ran fully 8 feet
out of the box to meet t hot-ball. It
| went over the f one* and we won the
game.
"When I took brother Al out/6f thf
game he was sore, but when- Hans
made that long drive be was the hap
piest man In the grounds. That hit
was'really the making of Wagner. It
gave him confidence"
